Thinking of You with Shaving Cream Background

My daughter doesn’t really love paper crafting 😦 , but she LOVES doing the shaving cream technique and asks me to do it almost daily!! I decided to use this technique on the background panel for this card. I have to admit, the results are pretty cool! And it was fun crafting with Kelly!

The Stampin’ Up re-inkers (Early Espresso, Pistachio Pudding, and Soft Suede) and foam shaving cream were used to create the marbleized effect on the background panel. First, a large blob of shaving cream was sprayed on a paper plate. Then, several drops of each of the three inks were added to the shaving cream. The colors were swirled (not mixed) around with a craft stick. A piece of glossy card stock was placed, face down, on the shaving cream and ink. Once the whole panel had made contact with the shaving cream, it was removed from the plate and placed on my craft mat. Then the shaving cream was scraped (or “shaved”) off with a metal ruler. What was left behind once the shaving cream was removed were the swirls of ink. Kelly’s favorite part of the whole process is “shaving” the shaving cream off the card stock! What is cool about this technique is that you never know what you will end up with after the shaving cream is removed. You can make several panels with the same pile of shaving cream and ink, and they will all be different!

Even though pistachio pudding ink was added to the shaving cream, there wasn’t much of this color on the panel used on this card. (If you look closely, you may be able to see a hint of it!) There ended up being a bit of white on the panel where just shaving cream with no ink came in contact with the card stock. In order to keep the colors consistent with the required colors, I ended up airbrushing over the whole panel (lightly) with Copic Marker (E44) which is a close match for the soft suede.

About Me

(Cherry Hill, NJ) I am blessed to have 4 beautiful children and a wonderful husband who is so supportive of my "addiction" to paper crafting! I enjoy scrapbooking, card making, and creating projects with paper. I love learning new techniques, "playing" with all the cool tools and products I can get my hands on, and sharing my projects with others who share my passion for paper crafting!
